📋 Tender Overview
Contract awarded for Crew and material transport p18 lot-0000, title: crew and material transport p18, description: the scope of this assignment includes the structural and ad-hoc transport of offshore technicians, tools, and parts for the operational management and maintenance of the p18 platform. the strategic choice to arrange this transport by ship, specifically from the maasvlakte (rotterdam), is based on the following operational and nautical necessities: • minimal sailing time and maximum response speed: the p18 platform is located approximately 21 kilometers offshore from the rotterdam harbor entrance. this allows the project team to respond immediately to acute failures and minimize downtime. • combined transport (people and material): for technical maintenance, we expect to regularly need to bring equipment to the platform. a crew tender from the maasvlakte can often transport these materials along with the technicians in the same voyage. • significant cost savings on labor and fuel hours: sailing from rotterdam leads to efficient fuel consumption and deployment of offshore personnel. • nautical reliability: sima charters has a readily deployable fleet at the maasvlakte that is fully aligned in terms of certification, draft, and operational readiness with the specific conditions surrounding the p18 location. porthos is investigating what the frequency and the people and objects to be transported are. the frequency and service level are therefore not yet well defined. porthos intends to conclude an agreement for crew transfer vessel services with sima charters for a limited period to gain a good understanding of the needs. sima charters is also based in maassluis and hoek van holland. this gives them a unique position in terms of response time. therefore, porthos believes that sima is currently the only provider that can support porthos in this regard. the objective of the agreement is to gain a good understanding of porthos's needs over a limited period of up to 1.5 years. the intention is to then put the agreement out to tender according to the regular procurement procedure. estimated value excluding vat: 350000.00 eur.Crew and material transport p18
